The Casey Demons’ final pre season practice match is scheduled against Williamstown on Saturday, April 10, 2021 ahead of the season opener against the Box Hill Hawks on the following Saturday. 

With Melbourne doing well in the AFL and players returning from injury, we can expect some big names taking part in the Casey team this week.

    That would be a huge boost. Maybe they could each play a half at full forward.  I think we’d have to get them through two games before senior selection.  I thought tom McDonald did ok in round 1 but he’s not the answer across CHF/FF. Need Weid and Ben Brown in the MFC line up.

    I wonder whether they'd look to bring one in for the Anzac eve match

    I see the girls start at 1500 hrs so it will be probably before midday.

    On the Williamstown website it has the start time at 11.15am but that info was put up a few weeks ago. I'll wait for something more concrete.

    I read in an article on the MFC app, that both the Weed and Brown played in an intraclub game last weekend. Does anyone have any info as to how they went?

    I’d like to think that it’s not a contest between them, but rather an opportunity for them to practice operating together in the same f50.  Imagine Brown leading up and Weidemann sitting back splitting the defenders and offering some juicy 1:1s for the Hf line to kick to.  Frittata leading to the pocket as third option, and Kosi buzzing around ready to pounce.....

    Fritta needs to stop leading into the pockets Very rarely leads within the 45 deg arc and should concentrate on that.

    Having said that his 2 set shots on Sunday  were Spot on. Really knows how to set the ball.

    Kinda exciting to think about and consider, at this point of their eventual return to the team, just how opposition sides are going to counter a forward set-up such as the one that is going to be in place in the very near future for the Dees. Unless there are executive decisions to mess up the functionality of the array - including its potential, multiple and layered strategies for a avalanche of goals - the near future is looking particularly bright across the whole field of play. 

    There are others in the team other than the mentioned key players, bubbling along, who will provide considerable support and further options for aggressive scoring options and pathways. 

    I sense that both Yze and Chocko will contribute significantly to this new deck of cards winning many tricks onfield and before goal.

    'Carna Dees!

    Possible Casey forward line this week

     

    HF   Chandler     Weideman    Melksham

    F     M Brown     B Brown       Bedford

     

    Rosman and Laurie buzzing around.   Couldn't even fit big Majak in  (could swap him with Mitch though).

    Pretty handy.

    What a debacle

    the VFL still doing pre-season pratice matches when we are up to round 4.

    Amateur hour

    What's the issue?  We still get a game which is all we really want.  That it doesn't count for VFL points doesn't really matter does it?

    it was always round 3 but this is effectively round 6.

    Unfortunately it is a reflection on how the senior coaches regard the VFL. I suspect they would be happy to keep it as practice matches.

    The issue is game time for those that aren't in the seniors. How does a Melksham for example get match fit....?

    With less rotations, the possibility of player fatigue is high and the ability of clubs to manage the fitness of their player rosters is compromised.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
